just as i did when i co-authored the 9/11 gi bell with webb, lautenberg and john warner. this includes focusing on the mental health of our fighting force because no one who volunteers to fight and die for this country should ever feel like they have nowhere to turn. that's unacceptable for this country. in my 12 years in the senate, my one guiding principle on every security decision i made and every vote i cast was always this. simply this. is our policy worthy of our troops and their families and the sacrifices that we ask them to make? that same question will guide me if i am confirmed as secretary of defense. our men and women in uniform and their families must never doubt their leader's first priority is them. i believe my record on veterans issues over the years going back to my service in the veterans administration under president reagan demonstrates my rock solid commitment to our veterans and their families. we must always take care of our people. that's why i will work to ensure everyone who volunteers to fight for this country has the same rights and same opp
